Renters Insurance (required):
Residents must maintain renters insurance meeting the lease requirements and upload proof in the Resident Portal prior to move-in and during the tenancy. The owner/manager’s insurance does not cover a resident’s personal property.

Deposit Options / Deposit Alternatives:

A refundable security deposit may be required as disclosed prior to lease signing.

Where available, we offer Obligo (a deposit alternative). This option is strictly optional—approved residents may choose a traditional refundable security deposit instead. Paying a deposit alternative does not limit a resident’s responsibility for unpaid rent, fees, or resident-caused damages per the lease and applicable law.

Equistead uses for pet/animal/no-pet documentation. All households must complete a PetScreening profile (pets, assistance animals, or “no pet”). Fees (paid to PetScreening, not Equistead): $30 when paid by credit/debit card or $25 when paid by ACH for each pet profile; $0 for assistance animals and no-pet profiles. Fees and terms are set by PetScreening and may change—see their site for details.
Approved pets may be subject to pet rent and/or pet deposit/fee per listing; all amounts are disclosed in writing before lease signing. Assistance animals are processed per applicable law and are not charged pet fees.
